After IWILL DK8N, based on NVIDIA nForce3 Pro 250 chipset, has become the best AMD

Someone (the product manager of a supplier in the UK) informed me that Iwill is creating a 'solution' for AlienWare that is a dual Opteron-based platform with dual PCI-Express... which is dual out later this year. I guess this is the baby that he was talking about. :cool:spikegifted.net

Wow, my jaw has dropped through the floor. My only question is how it is going to stack up to the Tyan K8W. I am definitely getting one or the other. This is also the first board I have seen with PCI-X and PCIe together, a workstation/gamer all-in-one system. I own an Intel and an AMD system, but from now on I will buy Opteron and nothing else. Dual-core Opterons and the K9 will own everything on the planet.
My rigs:
3.2 P4, Intel D875PBZ, 1GB, 9800pro
AMD XP 3000, MSI K7N2GM-L, 512MB

Its a Dual Xeon board, and OEM for Alienware only. Will not be released as a retail product for the forseeable future (unless policy changes).
